[Verse 1]
Son, lift your head up, it's gaining, it's going somewhere
Son, shift your halo, it's feigning, it's pulling your hair
Before the roots grew tight around the offers of your love
Before you lay your body on the thoughts you're thinking of
[Chorus]
Hold your memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
[Verse 2]
There was a morning, a wedding, a drawing of you
(Be there all the time, be there all the time)
There was a dying, beheading, the ash of the ruse
(Be there all the time, be there all the time)
Before you move so quickly as to chalk yourself undone
Before you fill your belly with the stories that you've spun
[Chorus]
Hold your memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Hold your memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
Memory up to the light
[Outro with Chorus in background]
And when you glow like the day
When you float like the rain in summer
You cannot say
That you never have tasted glory
And when you glow like the day
When you float like the rain in summer
You cannot say
That you never have tasted glory
